..correct me if I&#39;m wrong, is that a little goatee on EA, between lip and chin ?

yes... it does look like that... eww.. he would look goofy with a goatee&#33;&#33;&#33; ha ha

as for this picture... this was in 1989 BEFORE Stefano&#39;s speed boat incident and this leads me to ask WHY was Ernst there and WHERE is Stefano?? It looks like Ernst is looking at Charlotte&#39;s dress or maybe Caroline&#39;s shoes... hmmm. Look how young they were&#33;&#33;&#33;

Ernst seems to be more affectionate towards Caroline than she is with him. Anyway, I heard that Ernst wasn't a good father to his boys. He never treated them the way he treats Alexandra. Maybe it has to do with the him always wanting a daughter. I don't know.

Caroline appears to be a permissive parent. She shows unconditional love towards her children but places few or no restraints on them. According to psychologists, "children of permissive parents may also be rebellious and aggressive. In addition, they tend to be self-indulgent and impulsive." It nice to want to be your child's best friend but it's also important to be the parent.

Ernst&#39;s sons, Ernestie and Christian, currently live in London with their mother. They visit their father during the summer and winter holidays. Do you know what I don&#39;t understand? How Ernst can be such a caring father towards Caroline&#39;s children but not towards his own. He treats his two stepsons, Andrea and Pierre, better than his own two sons. I wonder if Ernestie and Christian resent him.
